The Producer

"We never know when someone will enter our lives and change them. My light had just about burned out, and Sam's spark rekindled it. She lit the flame that got me writing again; it's Sam's fault. She's a dynamo who manages more than her clients' careers; she manages ​to help them become who they're meant to be."

Possessing a passionate sense of social justice, it's what Sam David is all about: human rights and racial equality.​Widely known as a civil rights/issues' activist, writer/editor and strategic negotiator, the veteran female entertainment exec heads her eponymous talent management firm & literary agency. Repping TV/literary talent + sports clients/projects (along with running Black World Studios), Sam specializes in creating and developing multi-cultural literary material, true-life life rights, and original historic and landmark scripts into TV, film, stage, documentary, and book projects, She embraces her niche studio production work with a unique blend of old-school, hands-on management and cutting-edge strategic thinking, fusing her bullish tenacity and zen-like quality of business financial management with creativity that is far off the beaten path. She's edgy and unconventional with an ultra-low profile (by being largely inconspicuous); her quiet unpretentious demeanor — signature black tee's, well-worn jeans, and cowboy boots — belies her New York City roots.

​As the highly committed producer and studio head who oversees an elite and loyal clientele of writers, screenwriters, scriptwriters, playwrights, directors, composers and lyricists, columnists, actors, musical directors, and other professionally accomplished personalities, it is Sam's unique creativity and imagination that allows her to catapult controversial concepts to new avenues of exposure. What Sam looks for in a writer or a screenwriter or in an intellectual material is something that challenges her, something that breaks new ground, something that allows her to flex her creative marketing muscle.

To encourage and inspire each client to become the best he/she can be, she first analyzes every layer of their career successes and then repackages them from the ground up. "Don't ever compare your life or your work or your creativity to others," she always points out. "You are you. You are your competition. You have absolutely no idea what someone else's journey is all about, because no two talents ever dream the same dream." ​​From this insight comes superior communication, Sam believes, and her intuitive understanding is shared in the spirit of wanting to see each client succeed well beyond their wildest dreams, while bringing passion projects to a successful fruition. "Clients have got to think fast in this business, and they've got to keep reinventing themselves (and their projects and priorities) to stay on top," Sam points out. "Innovative marketing, vision, direction and strategy are so important; I put a tremendous amount of thought into every individual's writing career before we even discuss new projects, working with extraordinarily gifted individuals who will let me represent their careers and focus them towards new directions that they never thought possible."

Having long been married to her work, her work is her passion.In many ways, Sam has developed a unique 'holistic approach' to effective production management and client empowerment. With an eclectic and widely diversified (and frequently provocative) project base that has repeatedly allowed her to be a truly dedicated quarterback — ​working tirelessly on behalf of her clients — Sam delivers the insight and attention to detail that every client hopes for, with uncompromising passion and the personal service every talent needs. She is the type of person who crosses oceans for people, which is exactly why she puts in the extra miles — along with a readiness to go through hell and back --on behalf of her clients. ​Sam David, as Manager, is attached as a Producer to all of her clients' projects (per contractual agreement with them). ■

​ Deeply rooted in a respect for diversity and tolerance --strong word of mouth is how virtually all clients arrive at our doorstep.
